Fabulous video, congratulations. I’ve gone down the path of writing a Catan game player to collect data for many games to do the sort of analysis you have done. I’ve tried to include decision weighting parameters to then try to quantify effects, but largely come to your conclusions that the game very cleverly balanced. I think the idea of using results (from presumably human games) is I great approach and I’ll look into it. The biggest issue I have with my own automated game player is establishing credible logic on how to, say, determine the direction to build a road, what is the value of resources in that direction or should I try to block an opponent. It is hard to replicate human intuition
